Trevor is joined by Cody Reynolds of the Accidentally on Purpose network (https://linktr.ee/aopnetwork), the Imperfect Men Podcast (@imperifectmenpod), and We Effed Up (@WeEffedUp) to discuss how Americans desperately tried to force the Korean Kingdom of Joseon to trade in the 1800s. Tomb raiding, stupid battles, and sword fights ensue.
